Hello, my name is Wendy, and I am a Stay At Home Mom. With the economy being as it is, I am looking to bring in some extra money. Like many of you, I have scoured the Internet looking for legitimate online jobs. Unfortunately, there are a ton of scams out there, preying upon good, hard working people. My purpose in this blog is to provide information on online jobs that I have found to be legitimate. I wish you all success with your online endeavors.

I have really pared down the online jobs that I have been doing. I used to do a lot more PTC (Paid To Click) sites, but found that a lot of them took FOREVER to reach payout level. They were all Legitimate - just a little slow for my liking. If you are interested in seeing all of them, feel free to look back at some of my older posts. Everything listed below is what I am currently doing to make money online, Legitimately.

Answer questions, and get paid for it.

Weegy - is a community-based expert system. Got a question? Go to Weegy . Have a problem? Go to Weegy . Weegy will usually have the answer.

You can sign up to become a Weegy Expert, and answer questions. You are paid for each conversation you participate in. You also accumulate points from customer ratings, comments on the Weegy blog, and archived conversations. Weegy has a monthly points contest, and the top three Experts receive bonus money (1st gets $100, second gets $75, and third gets $50).
I have won first or second place in the points contest several times - that is some nice extra cash in the pocket!

People asking questions of Weegy can also request particular Experts for a fee, and that Expert will receive additional money.

IMShopping is a site where people ask shopping questions, and the Shopping Assistants / Guides answer the questions, and add product suggestions to the answers.
For instance, someone was looking for an inexpensive Chanel top. I found some great tops, gave a little description, and added the products for her to choose from.

You would start out as a Community Member, and answer questions. If your answer is voted 'Best Answer', you get $1.00 (not bad for a few minutes of your time!). When you reach $40.00 in your account, you are paid via PayPal (IMShopping pays on Mondays).

Once you have answered 25 questions, and if you are giving good answers, you will have the option of becoming a Shopping Assistant / Guide, where you are employed as a Contractor. Shopping Assistants / Guides are guaranteed pay for every question answered (cash out is $20.00), and bonuses for answers that are marked 'useful' or winning 'Best Answer'.

Pay to Click sites:

Trek Pay - is by far the best Pay to Click site out there. They pay weekly, and the pay varies based on their profit. I have never been disappointed, and have been paid several times by Trek Pay.

You get a list of web sites to click. Some you just view the content, some you click an ad. Points are accumulated, and you are paid. The more people you refer, the more money you make.

Also, you can receive bonus money (i.e. I received a $6.00 bonus for referring the 4000th member, and another member received $25.00 for clicking the 10 millionth ad, Christmas and New Years bonuses of $25.00 were given, as well.).

If someone you refer buys an ad through Trek Advertising, you receive commission.

If you have a web site and want to drive more traffic to it, use Trek Advertising.

You Data You fill out information on your interests (took me about 5 minutes to fill out the form), and have ads to click based on those interests. The ads I have seen so far vary from $.05, to $.15, but can go up to $5.00 (I know some people who have received these ads). You Data pays weekly, regardless of how much you make (no payout level).

NeoBux Pretty simple. They give you a list of links to click - you click them - you get paid.

Getting Paid

That's the best part, right? Getting paid!!!!
Most of of these online jobs will pay you via PayPal. If you are not familiar with PayPal, it is a FREE online pay site. It is completely secure, I have used it for years.

Here is some info. on PayPal:

PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.

PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with more than 153 million accounts worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 18 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global ecommerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.

PayPal has received more than 20 awards for excellence from the internet industry and the business community -most recently the 2006 Webby Award for Best Financial Services Site and the 2006 Webby People's Voice Award for Best Financial Services Site.

Located in San Jose, California, PayPal was founded in 1998 and was acquired by eBay in 2002.

This also means that if you have your own online business, you can get paid through PayPal, making everything easy and secure.

Best of luck!
